I have a Generac xg8000e. It's not in an rv but I guess it could be so I hope someone can offer some ideas.
It's probably 15 years old and I got it about 5 years ago from my MIL. It as been very lightly used and runs like a champ. It has always been stored in a basement level garage.
About a week ago the DW smelled gas downstairs and traced it to the garage. I traced it to the gen. I didn't see drips or anything so I started poking around the fuel lines and carb to find nothing wet. I took off the air filter cover for better access and found about 1/3 of the square paper air filter stained and smelling of gas.
Any ideas?
